Chinese New Year Goodies! (Review & Giveaway)

Product Review

In a twinkling of an eye, Christmas is over and we have crossed over into a brand new year! In slightly more than a month’s time is my most favorite season in the entire year – Chinese New Year! I love it because we get to have quality family time with the extended family, and indulge in delicious Chinese New Year goodies! This is also going to be our first Chinese New Year in the new house, so we are expecting more guests than past years. So when Pineapple Tarts Singapore wanted to send over some of their signature CNY goodies for us to review, we were most happy to do so! At the rate the goodies are going, we would have to order another batch when CNY comes. Haha!

Pineapple Tarts Singapore sent over their best-sellers and every one is my favorite! My absolute most favorite will always be pineapple tarts though, and those that were sent over was so yummy they were wiped out in my household in 2 days! Yes, 2 DAYS! My kids were suddenly transformed into pineapple tart lovers – Which was very strange because I didn’t remember they were that crazy about them last year! In the end, I only managed to snag 3 pieces. So yes, I definitely need to order more. =X

So, there was a tin each of Pineapple Tarts ($21.90), Cheese Pineapple Tarts (S$24.90), Crispy Sia Prawn Roll (S$14.90), Cashew Nuts (S$17.90) and Kueh Lapis (S$39.90). If you like cheese, the Cheese Pineapple Tarts is a lovely twist to the original flavor and definitely worth a try!

Love it that the goodies came in air-tight plastic containers like these – Aesthetically pleasing and keep the food fresh.

What’s so good about their pineapple tarts, you ask? They are buttery, crumbly and literally melts in the mouth. I thought I was being a little drama queen when I described it that way, but when my friend came visiting and tried them, those were her exact comments as well! It must be true then! =P And really, it’s quite impossible to stop at only one after you start. The pineapple fillings are sweet and slightly sourish – Just the way I like it!

Fans of Kueh Lapis will be happy to know that Pineapple Tarts Singapore makes a good version. I like how firm it is, with the right texture and sweetness. Makes me happy when I enjoy it with hot chinese tea!

The cashew nuts and crispy prawn rolls are always crowd-pleasers, so they are a must to stock up during the CNY season!
